Chapter 190: The Meaning of Sixty

Previous Chapter

When Lu Bu and everyone were in the front hall, several family members and Lu Wen in the dining room in the backyard also began to start.

Yan's family, Dong Pu, and Diao Chan, these are Lu Bu's current three female dependents, and Lu Wen is Lu Bu's only son. Diao Chan was included in the room by Lu Bu in the last half a month, although her appearance is the most gorgeous among the three, but her status is ranked behind Lu Wen and Dong Pu, and she does not dare to trespass.

Yan is pregnant again after many years, she is naturally very happy, her status as a wife has been consolidated because of the fetus in the womb, even if the second child is still a daughter, she can still give birth to a third and fourth child.

Lu Bu's undisguised care and love for his eldest daughter Lu Wen was seen by everyone in the house, and Yan's heart was naturally very happy and gratified. As long as Lu Bu loves Lu Wen, she will naturally not be alienated from her, she has a deep relationship with Lu Bu as a husband and wife, and it is a matter of time before she gives birth to a concubine in the future.

Dong Pu's mood may be more excited than Yan's, she is like a rootless duckweed in the house, if she can't give birth to a boy and a girl for Lu Bu, her future life is unimaginable.

The pregnancy of Yan and Dong Pu is also beneficial to the newly ascended Diao Chan. In order to protect the fetus, the pregnant female relatives naturally couldn't serve Lu Bu to sleep, and Diao Chan had a lot of opportunities to get close to Lu Bu before Lu Bu didn't take another concubine to enter the door. Such a time window, I'm afraid it's just like that.

The banquet in the front hall finally came to an end, except for a few half-grown children who were still burying their heads and continuing to eat violently, the adults sitting in front of them and Lu Bu had already put down their chopsticks and started a discussion around Lu Bu's words.

Lu Bu said: "As a general, I asked the kitchen to kill two sheep today, and invited everyone to eat a good meal, which stands to reason is not a luxury and waste." The meat and vegetables that have not yet been eaten on the table in front of you will be a delicious meal for them when they are withdrawn to the back kitchen. I heard that when Yuan Shu was in Nanyang, he had big fish and meat every day, and the music orchestra was like a cloud. I also heard that after Yuan Shao won Jizhou, he immediately built a large-scale Cheqi General's Mansion in Yecheng, and his life was also very luxurious. As for the national thief Dong Zhuo's drunken dream and death in Guanzhong's Yiwu and Jiuchi Meat Forest, it is needless to say. ”

Lu Zhi continued: "The general has always been simple and thrifty, and the officers and men of the whole army and the people of Bingzhou can see it, which is a good virtue and can be an example for the people of the world." ”

Lu Bu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Actually, speaking of conscience, I also yearn for a life of fine clothes and fine food, but 'from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift', since I have chosen the difficult road of protecting the lives of the people, I must first set a good example." ”

The few little guys who were originally sitting in the corner of the back row and bowed their heads to eat meat, when they heard Lu Bu's words, they all put down their chopsticks with some embarrassment and listened to Lu Bu's heart quietly.

"A few days ago, I asked Jia Kui and Wang Xiang to count the average life expectancy of the people in Bingzhou, and the results surprised me! The average life expectancy of people in Bingzhou is only 34 years old! And such an average life expectancy is two or three years higher than that of Qingzhou, Liangzhou and Yuzhou. It takes a full twenty years to feed an adult male, from birth to a weak crown. When he came of age, he either labored, joined the army, or became a craftsman, and only a few could become officials. If you take away the time they have lost in starting a family and having children, then they may not even be able to work for ten years! What a terrible waste of manpower? ”

Lu Bu's emotion made everyone's mood heavy.

"When I say this, I don't really want to upset everyone's interest. On the contrary, I want to encourage everyone to see the way out and hope. Lu Bu raised his voice, and then said confidently: "I have a wish, that is, in my lifetime, the average life expectancy of the Han people will be increased from the current thirty-one years old to more than sixty years!" Most of you have been exposed to military calculations, so you should know what the number of sixty means! Jia Kui, come and talk about it for me! ”

Jia Kui immediately got up and said loudly: "If the average life expectancy of my Han people is increased from thirty-one to sixty years old, it means that the population of the Han Dynasty will exceed 10,000, it means that the total grain output will be more than five times that of the current one, it means that the number of troops can exceed three million, and it means that the Hu people in the north, the Baiyue in the south, the barbarians, and the savages will all be wiped out by us!" It means that we can send many expeditions to unknown and wild places, and it means that all of my Han boats and cars are concubines! ”

Jia Kui's voice became more and more high-pitched, and the intense emotions quickly infected everyone in the hall.

Lu Bu asked Jia Kui to sit down, and then said, "Lu Changshi is the oldest among us here, but does anyone think he is really old?" Surely not! Changshi's swordsmanship is very powerful, and even a strong officer in the army may not be able to beat him with fencing skills. If Changshi pays attention to health preservation and health care, and then is assisted by a medical saint like Chinese doctor Cao, I think even if he lives to be 100 years old, it may not be impossible! Not only Changshi, but the rest of you also have hope for longevity, the key is to ensure nutrition and keep exercising. If you want people in the world to live longer, you must first start with yourself, set an example for everyone, and let everyone see hope! ”

"As for how to increase the average life expectancy of the people, I have recently come to the following conclusion: the first is to reduce war, the second is to eliminate famine, the third is to fight the epidemic, and finally to improve the living standards of the people, and develop healthy and good habits of living, exercising, resting and eating."

"We can't eliminate wars because there are always enemies and bandits that we need to destroy by force, but we can reduce wars, and we can find ways to reduce the number of soldiers and civilians killed as a result of wars. Famine is an important cause of a large number of unnatural deaths, and it seems that once the total population of Dahan exceeds 50 million, famine is inevitable and inevitable. However, is this really the case? I don't think so! In the next few years, I will use practical means to show you that population growth is not directly related to the occurrence of famine, but that population increase will reduce the likelihood of famine. ”

"The fight against the epidemic is a very important and urgent task, and in recent years, plague and typhoid fever have been raging in various places, and the population of entire villages and townships has died from the epidemic at every turn, and the number is shocking. I appointed Mr. Yuanhua as Counselor of Medical Counsellor Cao to establish the medical school and train a large number of doctors precisely to fight the epidemic and other diseases that prevent people from living longer. ”

As for the last point, how to make people develop healthy and good habits, exercise, work and rest and diet is a long-term goal, but it can be done from the people and things around them. For example, today's shabu-shabu, if it can form a trend, the people in the north will be accustomed to it in the future, in the cold winter, the family sits around a stove, and the meat and vegetables are blanched in the pot and then entered, which is not only delicious and easy to swallow, but also nutritious and healthy, which is naturally helpful for increasing life expectancy. ”

"In addition to eating and dressing warmly, maintaining a certain amount of exercise is also the secret of longevity. Mr. Yuanhua has created a set of five poultry operas, which are just taught to you today, as long as you practice them regularly, you can naturally feel the effect of strengthening your body. ”
